Headaches?! Yes, the first evening, after that, nothing. No flu like symptoms, no nothing. It’s just a habit for me but doesn’t fuck me up if I don’t do it.
I’ll happiely drink 4-6 red bull a day and another 1-4 coffee on top, but I don’t care if there is none.
Weeks of headaches? Flu like symptoms? You guys sure you don’t just have a placebo effect when quitting?
I began to say that there is no way you drink 4 to 6 Red Bull energy drinks and then top it with 1 to 4 coffee drinks on top.
Doing the math at the smallest amount (4 8-oz cans of Red Bull @ 80 mg of caffeine each puts you at 320 mg of caffeine. That is only a bit more than 1 Rockstar (300 mg).
If you really take in that much caffeine, then I would believe that you likely haven’t abstained from caffeine for long enough.
Give it a try. Go caffeine-free for 1 weekend. I dare you. Stop taking in caffeine of any sort on Friday afternoon. You will likely call in sick to whatever you have planned on Monday.
I’m calling bullshit that you get minimal effects going from regular (the most important part is regular) over 400mg (and upwards of 1000mg) caffeine in a day to zero.
Unless you’re just a natural freak who doesn’t become dependent on stimulants, you absolutely should feel like crap for at least a day or two.
Lol, why and how would it be a placebo effect if it’s an addiction that nobody realizes they have? You either don’t understand what thread you’re in or what a placebo effect is.
placebo effect works in both directions. i just wanted to share my experience, that i don’t suffer any side effects aside of some headaches. i wonder how many people feel bad because they believe they have too
It actually makes you feel like you have the flu for about 3 days to a week.
Personally I just had the worst headache for multiple weeks.

I did it last year for a week. As I said, first day I git a headache in the evening but that was it.

Nope, no freak here, I got other substances that I can’t quit as easily but coffee wasn’t a problem at all.
Congratulations on your resistance to chemical addiction then. I still seriously doubt your claims though.
it sounds like you are angry at me for not getting side effects when stopping caffeine
